Indeed. Thanks for sharing this thought. Safety is a priority over fuel efficiency. I didn’t realize how much of a hit the other 2 take, according to what others are reporting and perhaps I misjudged & voted incorrectly.

I currently run ohtsu fp0612 A/S. Don’t drive enough to know how it compares to other tires, but I can say I’ve gotten excellent even treadwear, including over a year and a half of running over a nail and getting it patched. The patched tire holds 50 PSI & only falls 2-3 psi below the other 3. And it appears to be an excellent value, made by the company that makes Falken. Anyone can compare & contrast it’s RR & traction with other brands? I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
